I remember waking up and running to my PC to check on all the photos and videos. And I sat there for quite a while. And smiled. And laughed. And cried.

Gaga walked the white carpet dressed in custom made Alexander McQueen gown. And I love everything about the look. From head to toe. From her flawless make-up and the hairdo.

The dress is simply divine. What an exquisite cocktail of warm autumn colours.

For me personally, this bespoke piece is an amazing extension of Alexander McQueen‘s Fall/Winter 2010 “Angels and Demons” collection inspired by “Byzantine art, the carvings of Grinling Gibbons, and Old Master paintings and altar pieces including, in particular, works by Jean Fouquet, Sandro Botticelli, Stephan Lochner, Hans Memling, Hugo van der Goes, Jean Hey and Heironymus Bosch”.

For those who’ve been wondering, her huge black & bottle green net bustle skirt created to add a little extra red carpet drama to the already amazing dress, was crafted by Alex Noble.

Alex had the dress in his studio while transforming 20 metres of net in Gaga’s VMA bustle: “The dress is absolutely stunning. I was in complete awe”.

The gold feathered mohawk headpiece is a custom Perry Meek piece.

Her Native American chief sterling silver ring with green rhinestone eyes is an unsigned vintage piece

Gaga completed the look with a vintage belt with hand cuffs and a pair of Alexander McQueen’s Armadillo snakeskin ankle boots from his Spring/Summer 2010 “Plato’s Atlantis” collection.

Another dress, another one-of-a-kind fierceness. 

Screaming and beyond happy Gaga accepted her “Best Pop Video Award” dressed in the custom-made black leather bustier and voluminous structured long skirt gown and her second mohawk of the night created for this special occasion by Armani Privé.

What went unnoticed by many, is that Gaga actually wore her custom Night Maker heelless black leather ankle boots by Noritaka Tatehana underneath.

One of the only dresses in the world that were added to the dictionary.

What you most probably haven’t read anywhere (I think so because many of you keep asking me whether I know it…) is something more about the process of this quite heavy, a bit cold but surprisingly comfortable outfit creation. The Matambre dress, which was designed by Franc Fernandez, was “constructed over a corset (by Kiki de Montparnasse), hand applied and clear-stitched over a two day period while in constant refrigeration”.

Gaga explained the meaning of the dress on Ellen: “Well, it is certainly no disrespect to anyone that is vegan or vegetarian. As you know, I am the most judgement-free human being on the earth. However, it has many interpretations. For me this evening, if we don’t stand up for what we believe in and if we don’t fight for our rights pretty soon, we’re going to have as much rights as the meat on own bones. And, I am not a piece of meat.”

It came with it’s own headpiece, matching clutch and wedge ankle boots.

Both her large statement-setting choker...

...and matching bracelet, made of silver-colored galvanized brass, with claw-set mini and maxi Swarovski crystals, are Pre-Fall 2010 Giuseppe Zanotti.

Her other bracelet is an unsigned vintage piece from New York Vintage!

She also rocked a custom Rodrigo Otazu brooch which adorned her meat clutch, and crystal ring by The Dragon Lady. Her other flower-shaped ring is by a-morir.

As a base for her meat shoes, Gaga used the Pleaser Delight-1020 patent white platform ankle boots. Also worn in her “Applause” video three years later.

For the start-studded after party Gaga went back to half of her McQueen x Alex Noble ensemble and added a hat which should look familiar to you.

It’s a custom Philip Treacy feather “Gaga” headpiece inspired by the hat Philip created for his 2001 couture collection.
